Hmmm, thanks you three for this.
However, while I can see why - one array initialised by another array of the
same size - I'd have expected a simpler method from Perl.
It's open to user error quite easily by not specifying enough on the right
side, and Perl's usually better at making life easy for the programmer.
Or is it just that I'm getting too spoilt by Perl?
